Hi everyone,
I'm wondering how to translate something like "different" in this example above. I know that the double alius construction can be used for "different" in this sense, but I have no idea how to determine which case/number each "alius" gets. Here's my attempt, which matches the first "alius" in apposition with the subject "uterque" and the second "alius" with the object "carmini." Is this how to do it?
nostrum uterque alius alio carmini studebat.
